Message From the Principal

Dear Sullivan Families,

If this week is any indication, the next two are going to fly by and winter break will be upon us before we know it! It has been great to get back into the routine of school this week, and we are looking forward to some of our seasonal special events that we enjoy each December. Our Band and Chorus concert is December 16th, and our Orchestra concert is December 18th. Please join us at MacArthur on these dates to see our amazing performers and musicians in action.

Only 31 parents have completed the 5Essentials survey! We need at least 30 more parents to complete the survey in order to receive results. We use the survey results to improve the educational experience for our students and families. Please click here and select Anne Sullivan School to complete the survey. We want your feedback! Next week, Sullivan students will take the math diagnostic during math class.

Lastly, please make sure your child brings their iPad to school charged each day, as the testing schedules are are determined by individual teachers.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Warmly,

Traci Meziere
Principal
Anne Sullivan School
Cold Weather Guidelines
Next week the weather will be taking a turn for the worse. Please remember to send your child dressed for the weather with a warm coat, hat, and gloves. Students need boots and snow pants to play in the snow. Please remember we will go outside for recess if the temperature with windchill is 10 degrees or higher.

Sullivan Snapshots
Building Community

Mrs. Broms' class had an opportunity to share something special about themselves at this week's class meeting.
The students played instruments, shared artwork, prized possessions, dance and gymnastic moves, and pictures of pets and loved ones.

Our students continue to build relationships and practice presentation and audience skills through activities like these!

Innovation Lab Learning

The Sullivan Staff had a blast learning in the Innovation Lab at this week's staff meeting.

Science Fun

We love when our students get excited about science and want to take their learning a step further.

Mrs. Travis' class conducted two experiments to understand how water is purified, and Mrs. Broms' and Ms. Funk's class cut into an abandoned hornet nest after making predictions.
